I'm out of control with the posts today.
Look, I'm The Sudden Departure. I'm a Random Brutal Love Master.
I don't know if I should be flattered or insulted.

This is the best Web site I've found in a while, dedicated to the greatest "American Idol" contestant ever.
Last night we were in the trashiest of all trashy bars, and within minutes of walking in, my favorite Pantera song, "Slaughtered," came on. Shocking and refreshing. I need to go home and dig up "Far Beyond Driven." That really is one of my favorite albums of all time. My metal days may be making a welcome comeback.
TGIF. I'm going to stay home this weekend in a feeble attempt to save money. Except I need to go out and buy a new cell phone, because this beast is on its last leg.
Official youknowwhere countdown:
13 days, baby!

I think there's so much snow out there, there's nowhere to put it all. It's so cold, new snow just piles up on old snow, and it's like a winter not-so-wonderland. We got 12 more inches.
I'll stop complaining, because I am very proud of my Otto. He was plowed into a spot in Bunny's parking lot and I managed to back out without shoveling. And then I laughed at the man in the Civic who couldn't get out and kept shoveling and spinning his tires.
It really is a sin the way I torture poor Otto in the wintertime. I should have a Touarg. But having a little GTI with beefy snow tires is fun!

So I went to the doctor about my knee. I messed up the big ligament on the inside of my left knee. She prescribed me Naprosen, which is high powered Aleve, to ease the pain and stop the swelling. I have to elevate it, put the heating pad on it, wrap it and not exercise. And if it's not better in a few weeks, I have to see an orthopedist.
What a disaster.
I told the doctor I slipped on the ice. There will be no talk of the drunken limbo with the doctor.
Beth, that's not drinking alone, but then again, don't listen to me. I condone drinking alone (drinking with the dog is not drinking alone in my book). And I drink and do the limbo and destroy the ligaments in my knee. So yeah, don't listen to me.
It's going to snow today. I mean today, tonight and tomorrow. They're calling for at least a foot. I can't take it anymore! And I can't even go sledding because of my bum knee!

Sometimes I make myself nervous. I have a drinking-related injury. That's a problem. Thursday night we went out for Amy's birthday, and I managed to twist my knee while doing the limbo.
I hate the limbo.
What's scary is that it didn't hurt that night. I'm guessing it's sprained, but I don't want to go to the doctor. But maybe I should go to the doctor because I'll get fun meds. But that's not the right reason to go to the doctor.
What else is scary is that it's Monday, four days later, and I still can't walk right. And I bet that's because I went to Manhattan Saturday night to go out for Amy's birthday, again, and stayed out all night. Of course my knee didn't hurt then, but I wasn't doing the limbo or anything. Thank God.
I have issues.

This morning I was putting on my watch and I was like, "Why does it say 6:45? Why is my watch broken?" Then I realized it was still on Pacific time. I didn't have the heart to change it back.
Last night it was so cold (at least -5) we couldn't even go out drinking.
This weather is really cramping my style.
And Otto is the dirtiest I've ever seen him. He's all sandy and salty and nasty. He even has icicles hanging off the back bumper.
Basta!

It's a serious slap in the face to come home from Vegas, where it was in the 60s, to Connecticut. Hell has officially frozen over and I'm living in it. Nevermind the fact that it snowed six inches last night, which made my 40-mile trip to work last a trecherous 2 1/2 hours, it's a balmy 10 degrees right now. Tonight it will be -5, with a wind chill between -25 and -30. That's just wrong.
If I wanted to live like an eskimo, I'd live in the Arctic.
Anyway, instead of complaining, I will say this last trip to Vegas may have been the best one yet. I had so much fun with Jen, Tanya and Brenda, glamming it up on the Strip and partying like Britney at the Ghostbar at The Palms, with porn stars, the hot laywer and Elvis Cow. I can't wait for those pictures.
It was so wonderful to see Adam, Beth and Nicole. They make me feel like I'm at home when I'm there. Nicole, thank you for just being there. (You know what I mean.) Beth, I am so happy I was there for your birthday and I'm so happy you remember that Connecticut will win (twice). We must. (Wow, I was really insistent and drunk at that point for you to remember that, huh?)
So as I stare at the snow outside and dread getting back in my huge down parka, I remind myself Vegas isn't so far away. And I'm doing everything in my power to be back less than a month from now. You guys rock.

The countdown has begun, and what a short countdown it is!
I love packing all the anticpation and excitement into a day.
In 24 hours from now, I'll be somewhere over Illinois on my way to Las Vegas.
Tonight it's going to be -3 degrees in Connecticut.
Tomorrow in Vegas it's going to be 65 degrees.
Now back to the jumping beans in my stomach.

This morning on the way to work I was listening to Andrew W.K. and had a revelation about why I love Bam so much — shopping carts. He's always "doing shopping carts" on his show and on "Jackass." And we all know how I love stealing shopping carts. But I usually get yelled at for that.
Another reason why I love Bam.
Anyway.
Oh yeah, pictures from our trip to Europe are FINALLY all up. Pictures from Budapest, Vienna and Berlin are here. And pictures of Autostadt and Wolfsburg (and new Golf V!) are here.

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS 2004:
1. Use my electric toothbrush twice a day.
2. Start to learn German.
3. Learn CPR.
Let's see how I did with last year's:
New Year's Resolutions 2003
1. Take a bubble bath once a week. (Yes, in addition to daily showers.)
2. Be more financially organized.
3. Date only single people.
4. Seduce as many people as possible. (re: This quiz.) Must remember resolution No. 4 while doing so.
5. Be more courageous.
Let's say No. 4 worked out for the most part, as did No. 5. (Hey, I went on TV to learn how to — I think that qualifies as successfully completing Nos. 4 and 5!) Nos. 1-3 I didn't do so hot on.
And p.s.: I took the quiz again this year, and I got the same results. I'm not complaining.
Yesterday after German New Year's Eve hangover (too many Black Forest martinis), Amy and I dragged ourselves to the mall and the Sam Goody was going out of business. I got four CDs and a DVD for $11. The best 49 cents I've ever spent is on this, the Andrew W.K. "Tear It Up" single. Oh, but it's not just any single, it has two songs AND a bonus DVD with the videos for my THREE favorite Andrew W.K. songs, "Party Hard," "She is Beautiful" and "We Want Fun." AND the "We Want Fun" video is the BEST because it was shot at the "Jackass the Movie" wrap party, MEANING the cutest boy in the whole world, Bam, of course, is in it.
Whew.
Like I said, best 49 cents spent ever.
